Help with resolving W3C errors

Would you be able to assist in resolving these errors:
=====================================

I cannot work out how to resolve the errors of havig two tags the same name.
i.e. last.
This misaligns the calender,any suggestions would be appreciated.
====================================

Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.

1. Error Line 41 column 36: ID "last" already defined.

<li> <a href="dec.html" id="last">Dec</a></li>

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

2. Info Line 22 column 40: ID "last" first defined here.

<li> <a href="contact.html" id="last">Contact</a></li>

3. Error Line 49 column 9: end tag for element "td" which is not open.

</td>

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.

4. Error Line 50 column 9: end tag for element "tr" which is not open.

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

7. Error Line 53 column 26: there is no attribute "bordercolor".

<tr bordercolor="#84979C" bgcolor="#FFCC99">

8. Error Line 117 column 38: ID "last" already defined.

<li> <a href="april.html" id="last">Next</a>

✉
9. Info Line 22 column 40: ID "last" first defined here.

<li> <a href="contact.html" id="last">Contact</a></li>

10. Error Line 118 column 18: end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

</ul>

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
